On 'rm *' being a problem: I think it's unlikely that anyone will add checking for * to rm, it would break compatability the old rm. There's also plenty of us who wouldn't want it. It's also unlikely that checking for 'rm *' would be added to bash. The most likely solution to the 'rm *' problem will be that it continues forever (newbies will use file managers more and more anyway), or someone implements a dos-like del.
